Thank you for reading. Thank you for your interest.

Most entries on this website—originally, a blog in the style of early 2000s, an indulgence in amateur criticism and travel writing, have been scrubbed. Their contents have occasionally been recycled into other pieces of writing; unless they can serve the same purpose, the rest will probably remain locked away (I have left a few of the tamer entries below).

My name is Dylan Levi King. I'm a writer and translator.

I translate from Chinese to English. I would like to write a book.

Another page has a more detailed list of publications.

My interests, by which I mean targets of curiosity but also areas of not insignificant knowledge or experience, are 1980s to present Chinese cultural politics, Chinese drug policy and the illicit drug market, organized crime in East Asia, applications of cybernetics and systems theory, radical online politics (right wing populism, left Maoism, whatever else), Japanese elite politics, Southeast Asian borderlands, potash, small arms development, Japanese radical cinema, and fashion.

The rest is trivia.

If you need to get in touch with me, please email.
